Issue of Guernsey Evening Press – Nazi Propaganda in English – Guernsey Island in the English Channel, 1941
Issue of the newspaper Guernsey Evening Press. Guernsey, one of the English Channel islands, July 19, 1941. English.
Guernsey Island, one of the English Channel islands and a British Crown dependency, was occupied by the Nazis in 1940 and was under Nazi regime until 1945. During these years the islands' newspapers were produced under Nazi control and published Nazi propaganda in English.
One of the main articles in this issue, written by Nazi journalist and propagandist Alfred Rapp, deals with the world Jewish communion through which, as he claimed, the American stock exchange financed the communist revolution. The other articles in this issue deal with Nazi occupations, Nazi bombardments in the Suez Canal area, the military state of the allied forces, various decrees issued by the military administration, distribution of chocolate to children and various internal matters – marriage announcements, illness cases, deceases, a native of the island who was taken prisoner in Greece and more. On the last page appears a notice about screening the film "Die Rothschilds", a 1940 Nazi propaganda film about the role of the Rothschild family in the Napoleonic Wars.
